can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and
Green (-) cable to a 9-volt battery.

switch is a wall mount control box with
an up/stop/down button and plugs
directly into the screen’s RJ-45 input.

The width should not exceed 100mm and not less than the width of the screen’s housing. Measure the length of your screen to determine the
length. Note: The length of the installation space is not greater than the screen size table (C3), and the width is not less than the screen size table
(A4). Consult the dimensions table (C) in regards to accommodating the screen casing.
2. Drill 4 holes in the ceiling that correspond with the attachments on the various casing sizes. The width should be 120mm. The length of
(A4) in the diagram below depicts the distance between the holes located on each ear end of the screen’s case.
3. The M8 expanding bolts (G) mount into thick wood beams, stone or concrete and will support the screen. Use the Socket wrench (D)
to attach the M8x40mm hexagonal screws. The expanding bolts should be firmly tightened and tested to make sure that they will hold
